After reading my mind, my mother and my sisters went crazy

wrong!

When he thought of this, Murong Lie suddenly turned his head and looked at Zuo Liming with an unfriendly look.

How could he forget that behind Zuo Yexuan, there is the old fox Zuo Limin.

Back then, when he was still a prince, his father, the emperor, had just begun to consider making him the crown prince, but was met with unanimous opposition from the court officials.

Finally, with the careful planning of him and his father, they secretly broke up the lovers Jiang Xingguo and Zuo Yexuan.

The purpose is to get help from the left prime minister.

The result was not surprising when the edict to appoint the crown prince and the imperial decree to appoint Zuo Yexuan as the crown princess came down.

Zuo Limin, who was eager to protect his daughter, also chose to take sides.

With Zuo Liming's assistance, the outside world's opinion of him began to reverse rapidly, and no one could shake his position as crown prince anymore.

Maybe... he has lived in peace and stability for too long, and Murong Lie seems to have forgotten who he relied on to get to where he is today.

Zuo Limin!

What on earth does this old fox want to do?

Could it be... just because I said something careless last night about deposing the queen, he teamed up with her daughter to stage this big show!

Could it be that he wants to force me to abdicate and let someone else take over?

Murong Lie felt a little anxious, but by the time he figured it all out, public anger had almost reached its peak.

It seems that even if a royal scandal broke out today, he must calm the public anger, otherwise, he would really fall into the trap of the Left Prime Minister.

"My people, you are all my subjects." Murong Lie suddenly covered his heart with one hand, stretched out the other hand slightly forward, and said with great sorrow.

"I just learned that your child was brutally murdered."

"Don't worry, I swear an oath here today."

"We must get to the bottom of this and give everyone justice!"

"Otherwise, I am willing to be struck by lightning and accept the punishment from heaven!"

Murong Lie pointed his fingers to the sky and swore solemnly.

Zuo Yexuan and Jiang Qingqing brought Jiang Tiantian, who had eaten her fill, to eat the watermelon in a hurry, and happened to hear the Dog Emperor swearing.

Jiang Tiantian was happy to hear that.

[Okay, this is the flag you set~]

[If you can't complete it, don't blame me for summoning thunder to strike you, ahahaha~]

Jiang Tiantian's eyes curved and she grinned happily.

Zuo Yexuan's eyes lit up: I found new surprises while eating melons, and I'm suddenly looking forward to it!

The situation was urgent last night, and I didn’t see the Dog Emperor being struck by lightning with my own eyes, which is a bit of a pity.

I hope I can get what I want today.

Zuo Yexuan was looking forward to it with great interest.

"Come here, to prevent the bodies of other innocent children from being buried, pass on my order to immediately send people from the Ministry of Justice to thoroughly search the Lotus Cottage!"

"I will stay here and wait for the people from the Ministry of Justice to find out the truth!"

Murong Lie's tone was firm.

He waved his hand, and the chief eunuch Wang Defa immediately brought a chair.

Murong Lie was calm and composed, sitting upright like a pine tree, looking as if he was determined to stand up for the people and not give up.

"The common people bow to thank the Emperor. Long live the Emperor! Long live the Emperor!"

The people's shouts were overwhelming.

Murong Lie and his ministers took their seats, while the common people sat on the ground.

The whole place was silent, except for some families who had lost their children crying quietly.

After a while.

"Report!"

The Minister of Justice led the entire Ministry of Justice to go out together and soon found some clues.

The Minister of Justice Wu Ziqing immediately came to report.

"Your Majesty, I have led my men to turn the Lotus Villa upside down. There is no way there is a place to hide the remains of a child."

"However, I have discovered a book that records the children's names and dates of birth, as well as a secret passage leading to the imperial study."

"I think that vicious woman Xu Shilin must be planning to poison the emperor."

"Fortunately, the emperor is wise and discovered it in time, otherwise, the consequences would be disastrous!"

The Minister of Justice was an old man over fifty years old. At the moment, he was filled with righteous indignation and had a lingering fear on his face.

Hearing this, Murong Lie was stunned.

Oops! How could he have forgotten.

In order to hide his identity from others and spend a wonderful night with Xu Shilin under the moonlight, he once asked someone to secretly dig a passage.

I didn't expect it to be exposed in this way.

Fortunately, everyone just thought that Xu Shilin had ill intentions and did not investigate further.

Murong Lie took the thick booklet, flipped through a few pages, then suddenly stood up, looking extremely furious.

"How dare you! I never thought that there was such a vicious woman hiding by my side!"

"She actually sacrificed a living person in such an evil way to sacrifice the formation!"

Murong Lie's face was filled with sorrow.

"Come here, pass on my order and bring that vicious woman Xu Shilin out of the prison. I will execute her in front of the people to comfort the innocent souls who died!"

"Pass on my decree, and give a pension of one thousand taels of silver to every household that lost a child."

"The dead are gone, I hope the living will mourn for them!" Murong Lie sighed sadly.

"Thank you, Your Majesty! Long live the Emperor!" someone shouted excitedly.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for punishing the culprit and avenging my child!" Someone burst into tears.

"Wow... Your Majesty is so thoughtful. It is a blessing for our Xuanlong Country to have such a wise ruler." Some people were deeply moved.

Listening to the praises from everyone around him, Murong Lie couldn't help but feel proud on his face again.

Jiang Tiantian: [Humph! He lied, he lied so brazenly! ]

[How could Xu Shilin transport thousands of children to the palace quietly without the emperor's approval? ]

[It's just an exchange of interests]

[That woman Xu Shilin lied to the emperor, saying that it was a magic array that would help the emperor prolong his life. In addition, the emperor did have abnormal health in those years, so he acquiesced to Xu Shilin's secret actions.]

[Otherwise, how could Xu Shilin, a mere concubine, steal the little princess' body from the imperial mausoleum without anyone noticing? ]

[In order to seek immortality, he even used his own flesh and blood. This dog emperor is such a scumbag! ]

Jiang Tiantian pouted her lips, looking angry.

Upon hearing this, Zuo Yexuan looked at Murong Lie in shock.

Bastard, this beast!

One day, she will personally dig open the internal organs of this dog emperor to see if he has a heart!

the other side.

The emperor's order had been issued, and the Minister of Justice immediately led people to the Tianlao to interrogate Xu Shilin.

However, soon, the Minister of Justice came hurriedly, sweating profusely, and whispered something in Murong Lie's ear.

"What? Xu Shilin was rescued by someone?!" Murong Lie was shocked.

In this situation now, without Xu Shilin here, how can he appease the people?

If the culprit Xu Shilin had not shown up, he would probably have been cursed to death by the people.

Jiang Tiantian: [Haha~ It seems that the emperor discovered that Xu Shilin escaped~]

[Xu Shilin is not going to die for the time being, her fate is linked to the emperor's life]

[If I had forcibly ended her life earlier, it would have disrupted the original trajectory and caused the emperor to live for a dozen more years. Humph, let that bad woman linger on for a few months.]

Jiang Tiantian chewed her fingers, but her black and white eyes were full of teasing...
